Hmmm... Had cello lesson today and I think my progression is rather wols.................. Haven't been practising... It's quite frustrating cos I am normally only settled down around 11pm... And by that time it's too late already... Others need to sleep... Really hope I can practise more so that I can learn more... But I feel it's ok to be wols as long as every time I practise, I improve slightly...

I think musicianship is tough... You need to constantly encourage yourself... It's quite a lonely journey... And so whatever little encouragement from others is deeply appreciated. They are the ones which give me the hope and strength to go on... Having a clear vision of where you are heading also adds on the push...

In the first place, nobody said it was easy...

Gathered from 2nd hand info, orchestras may look glam outwardly, but off stage, all hell break loose. Maybe not to that extent but maybe it's not too different also... It's quite sad to hear... Aiya... It's best not to get involved in any politics and just play your stuff... Hope it doesn't happen in our orchestra...

Anyway, if you are interested, there will be a free performance at the Esplanade by the SSO on 16 October.

Oh, and yesterday was pretty interesting... Had piano lesson and my teacher wanted me to use less pressure on my left hand since it's only an accompaniment. So my right hand was supposed to sound louder than my left... I freaked out cos my previous teacher didn't teach me how to. So she taught me a method and after that I was pretty amazed that I could actually do it!! LOL.. It was magical.. LOL... Phew... I can quite predict her reaction if I can't correct my mistakes on the spot... So man... My tension level is quite high... Thankfully most of the time I am able to and you could almost see her heaved a sigh of relief............ But it's fine, I like this type of pressure on my piano since I want to push myself more...

If she teaches me cello... I would die. Fast and clean.

Anyway, after lesson my dad called and invited me to join his cg for dinner at Riverside Point.. It was the first time I met the whole cg and it was nice. Haha... Adults are quite weird in a way...
